Your Favourite FFIX character

Garnet followed by Zidane. I love them both so much but I had to go with Garnet, because while it's refreshing to have a main male protagonist who is genuinely happy without being annoying or overly upbeat, it was more refreshing to have a strong, compelling, and developed female lead. She felt like a real person. I think of all the characters in the game, she experienced the most growth and change. I absolutely love how she can experience so much pain and hardships, all of which seem to happen back to back, and even in her moment of despair, she's still able to overcome these obstacles and become stronger for it. She is hands down my favorite Final Fantasy heroine. I'm pretty sure if I'm ever crazy enough to have children and a child comes out with lady parts, "Garnet" is going somewhere in her name.

Amarant, he's the closest one in the group identify with and therefore I main him in party battles.

Also I hate when Final Fantasy introduces cool side characters that you can never really play. Marcus seemed cool.

This so much. I loved everybody in Tantalus. Of all the side characters in every Final Fantasy game I've played, I love them the most. Blank, Baku, Marcus, and Cinna all just had such great personalities. They were so much fun without being obnoxious, they were actually useful when they were in a scene, and there was this sense of loyalty and brotherly love between them that I think drew a lot of fans in. They were friends and a team, but they were definitely a family and they looked out for each other. Some of my favorite scenes from the game involve the Tantalus boys. <3

Blank always ranked really high on my list. I remember him being awesome and looking really cool...

Then years later I see his render and it suddenly occurs to me that he has no pants. And yet I still think he's cool. Nostalgia's a powerful drug.

Queen Brahne. I found her absolutely hilarious, what the f**k was she anyway?!?!

edit: or I forgot my all time favourite side-character: Blank! Oh man I was bitter that he was petrified, I wished to play with him so much!

Vivi. Odd talking golem that he was. Always like characters like him. He is not human, or any of the other kinds of people in FF9, he is a manufactured being. He is like a classic jewish golem, but with the exception that he can talk.

Golems can't talk, because if they could they would have a soul, so it would seem Vivi has a soul, of some type. Still wondering how he had children...
